The old tutor said solemnly, "Another plate."

Ning Jiang laughed: "Sure."

Luo Hanshang who was at the door turned around and walked into the living room to wait for her.

Ning Jiang played chess with the old man for three games and won two.

She didn't want the old tutor to lose too badly, so she had used her own methods to give way to the old tutor's sons in the second round.

When the old man was preparing to play the fourth round with her, Luo Hanshang walked in.

"Grandfather, it's enough now, I want to take Ning Jiang back first."

The old tutor said rather unhappily, "It's only a few minutes, and you're already urging me like this."

Luo Hanshang held Ning Jiang's shoulder and said, "If you don't rush to get a great-grandson, I won't rush either."

Ning Jiang tilted her head and rolled her eyes at him.

His words were truly too unbridled.

Luo Hanshang, however, acted as if he did not see it, and smiled evilly at his grandfather.

The old man looked at the two of them and waved his hands impatiently. "Alright, alright, alright. Let's go."

Ning Jiang said: "Grandfather, let's fight again next time."

The old man raised an eyebrow. "Let's do it this weekend."

"Alright."

She complied, and then left with Luo Hanshang.

After working continuously for a few days, Ning Jiang was busy working his way around. Every day, he would only be able to return to the hotel at around 8 or 9 o'clock.

Since it was related to the preparation for the early stage of the project, she had no time to pay attention to the investigation.

Thursday night, Ning Jiang finished his shift, and just as he was about to leave the company, he met Jiang Shicheng in the elevator.

Ning Jiang looked at him and nodded: "Good evening, Chief Jiang."

Jiang Shicheng did not make a sound.

When the elevator reached the first floor, Ning Jiang should have gone down. However, after hesitating for a moment, she turned to look at him again, "Uncle Jiang, how have you been?"

Jiang Shicheng looked at her, and after being silent for a long while, he asked: "Are you going to get off the elevator?"

She pursed her lips. "I will, but I feel that if I don't ask my old colleague who had a good relationship with my father before, I would be somewhat sorry for my father's praise towards you over the years."

Jiang Shicheng said with a dark face: "I'm in a hurry."

Ning Jiang laughed, and walked down the elevator without a trace of anger.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, Jiang Shicheng's hand pressed on it.

"Ning Jiang, I hope for you to join our company and enter this project for the sole purpose of increasing your knowledge and experience. As for other things, ask less, and ask less."

"I don't quite understand what Director Jiang is saying, but I don't know what you're talking about …" She hesitated to speak.

Jiang Shicheng did not speak further, and released his hand.

The elevator door slowly closed.

Ning Jiang stood facing the elevator door for a full minute.

Back at the hotel, Luo Hanshang was waiting for her.

He said unhappily, "Why are you so late?"

"Yeah, it's been so late these days."

"If you don't know, you might think that I have treated my employees harshly."

Ning Jiang's face was a little tired, he smiled at him: "Your employees are willing to work overtime for you, isn't that a good thing?"

He would rather not have her be so diligent. The feeling of waiting for someone was simply too unpleasant.

He pointed at the short silver gown hanging on the shelf. "You go and try it out."

She wondered, "Is there an important occasion?"

"Grandma sent it over. She told you to wear it when you went to get the pass tomorrow."

Ning Jiang looked at the dress and sighed lightly.

Luo Hanshang raised his eyebrows, "What, you're disdaining my kindness?"

"You misunderstood me," she said, walking to the shelf, took off her gown, and seriously looked at him as she said, "I didn't think that Grandmother would use a fake marriage to deceive her. I feel very sorry for her."

Luo Hanshang raised his eyebrows, "It looks like you still have some conscience."

Ning Jiang looked at him: "What is conscience? "Can you eat it?"

She curled her lips into a smile and returned to her bedroom.

Very soon, she finished changing her clothes and returned to his side. She then turned around and asked, "How was it? Did you pass?"

Luo Hanshang crossed his legs and stared at her for a long time.

She was a little embarrassed by the look. "Not good? Even if I don't look good, I still have to wear it, because this was picked by my grandmother. "

"Not bad, but you probably don't know when you'll look the best in my eyes."

She did not speak.

He replied seriously, "It's the most beautiful thing to wear when you're not wearing anything."

She was somewhat surprised. She had finally experienced what it meant to be serious.

In the past, when she saw him standing beside Mo Lan and the way the two of them kept their distance from each other, she had thought that he was a man of honor, but …

"When you were alone with Mo Lan before, was it the same?"

"Which one?"

"Casually teasing her."

He smiled. "What do you think?"

Ning Jiang thought for a while, "Men probably like to tease women."

His face darkened. This evaluation truly made him angry.

"It seems that you have been teased by a man quite a few times. Otherwise, why would you exclaim like that?"

Seeing that his tone was a little off, in order not to anger him and cause trouble for herself, she hurriedly said, "I used to walk the same path as the cold goddess Fan'er, and no one dared to tease me. I only saw you teasing me all the time, so I thought you were the same to other women."

Luo Hanshang pondered for a moment.

Indeed, Ning Jiang was the first one, he wanted to tease the woman that caused him to be alright.

This feeling... Very new.
